註釋

Ethnic Inequality in a Class Society is an important new study of the nature and scope of ethnic inequality in Canada. The economic prosperity of the post-war period and the growth of the welfare state have led to a widely-held assumption that basic equality and social justice are now well entrenched in Canadian society. Using previously unpublished data from the 1981 Census, the book examines this belief. It explores the influence of ethnic origin on the educational attainment, class position, and income levels of various ethnic groups in order to discover whether or not Canada offers the same opportunities to all citizens, regardless of ethnic origin or racial background. This study challenges the myths and misunderstandings about ethnicity and assesses the magnitude and meaning of ethnic inequality.
